This was the perfect spot to celebrate our son’s birthday. Our server, Ashley, was perhaps the best we’ve ever experienced! She went above and beyond to make the evening special. It’s the little details that add up to an evening that you want to repeat. Oh, and the 18 Hour Short Ribs and bread pudding did not disappoint!

The staff was fantastic—attentive, friendly, and accommodating throughout the evening. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel welcome and well taken care of. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for the special Valentine’s Day menu. While we were made aware of the fixed menu and pricing in advance, I found it to be too restrictive and overpriced for what was offered. The quality of the food did not justify the cost, and the portion sizes for each course were underwhelming. I understand that special event menus are often limited, but I expected a better balance of quality, quantity, and value.

The strip steak was tough and full of gristle. Calamari was great. Been here many times. First and last time trying the strip steak. I’ll still come back for other items.

Love the ambiance of the place, with the Art Nouveau overhangs, mirrors, Toulouse-Lautrec paintings, the Frenchness and elegance. My bistro burger was bad! It had an off putting smell that the grilled onions and questionable American cheese didn’t cover. The meat was almost tasteless but the smell was so weird (chemical). The fries were their usual delicious crispiness. My friends dinners were great: trout and risotto. The waitress seemed inexperienced. Our baguette was burned and too dried out to eat. She forgot the cream and a couple of other requests, but she was nice enough. The deserts of Key Lime tart and Flourless Chocolate cake were impeccably presented and delicious.
